and some meat based snacks. There has been an explosion of jerky, stick and even bar shaped meat snack offerings over the past few years. They are excellent to travel with as they take up minimum space and are great at craving hunger on the run.

I like the Vermont Smoke and Cure brand of meat stick. Cracked Pepper beef and pork is very good

Its a bit pricey but I like it so much better than a lot of other traditional jerky, many of which have a sweet element to them whereas this is has none. Also, the fact that it is thinly cut, shaved really, it is not a tough chew like jerky.
